- <p>Normal caution for a very thin snow pack.</p>
1" may be a stretch but it is what showed on the Big Flat Snotel. Most areas were blown clear of new snow. The trick today was to ski in areas were it had blown in to 3-4" of dense snow. Most surfaces were supportable, this is the main reason travel is possible. The exception being in shady protected areas at and just below treeline. These areas have a HS of 14" of weak faceting snow.
